was 892 less than the poll in the record-breaking election of 1928.

Chute, a Civil war veteran died suddenly at his home Monday morning.
A local dentist had quite a time Saturday
morning. He had received a package of false teeth from a dental supply house. Going
to the post office to pick it up, he was carrying the package up the Lawe Street
Bridge when a sudden sneeze struck him causing him to drop the package into the
canal. With the aid of a city fireman the package was retrieved none the worse
for its bath.
